This is one of the worst movies I've seen in recent memory. Pitt and Jolie, for all the lovin' they're doing off-screen, have zero chemistry on-screen. It's a one-joke movie that goes on for close to two hours.

One of those movies so carefully constructed and filled with little asides that you appreciate more and more with each viewing. Yippie Kai Yay. Scrooge Own the DVD No snacks This is the 1970 Albert Finney musical version that should be more well known. Great music, sets, performances. And Alec Guiness is priceless as Jacob Marley.

Kar2oonMan -- 'Scrooge' is one of my favorite movie musicals. Terribly under-rated, with great songs from Leslie Bricusse -- who wrote the songs for 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' with Anthony Newley.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan I know I've shared this online before, but when I saw Scrooge as a kid, it was the first version of the story I'd ever seen. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it again a few years ago that it not only lived up to my memory of it, but that I could appreciate it even more. My kids didn't believe me when I told them that the Albert Finney we see during the visit from the Ghost of Christmas Past was really how he looked at the time. There are some great songs in that movie. The joyous show-stopper "Thank You Very Much" cannot be fully appreciated outside the context of the movie, although it's now being used in a Volkswagen ad.

Originally Posted By Tiggirl RENT Theater No Snacks I had been wanting to see this movie forever! I love the play and I’ve seen it 3 times. I have the whole Broadway soundtrack memorized.

It was his first time really hearing the music and he knew very little about the story so I was excited to see how he liked it and he loved it too. I thought it was really well done and although there were some changes they didn’t bother me in the least and kept the movie flowing well. I can’t wait to see it again.

I thought it was a very fun film, plus I thought Angelina looked superhot in that film. I hope Brad Pitt gets on his knees and thanks the good lord every morning. And Jennifer Aniston was certainly no slouch either. Anyway I saw The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe Theatre Lemon Ice Tea Great movie.
